Episode 195 - Getting to Know Pinkbike Fast Guy Matt Beer Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

Matt Beer joined Pinkbike in 2021 and has made himself a something of a niche in the interveening time - testing downhill bikes, as well as contributing towards the editorial departments efforts in everything from Field Tests to gear reviews. Prior to Pinkbike, however, Matt won two national downhill championships and Henry was eager to learn more.

Episode 194 - Rainbow Stripes, Dream Downhill Teams and What Enduro COULD Be with Miranda Miller Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

It's not every day you get to speak to a World Champion, it's also not every podcast when the guest is willing to give you a huge amount of honesty as they look over some of their own, and mountain biking's, greatest achievements. Miranda Miller and Henry Quinney talk about where World Cup racing is going, what enduro should look like, plus which of the fast French riders she'd have on her dream World Cup team.

Episode 193 - Freeride, Firefighting and Fear with Steve Vanderhoek Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

In this far-reaching conversation, we talk about everything from extreme injury, modern freeride, and social media, as well as the consequences of crashing such as fear or healing mental wounds. We even touch on why the modern enduro bike might just be the bike freeride has been waiting for.

Episode 192 - Vodcast?! - Shockweek Roundtable Discussion Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

This week I am joined by Matt Beer and Dario DiGuilio to work out which is the greatest air shock of them all. Matt and Dario spent a great deal of time testing these shocks in Whistler to find out the nuances, and niggles of high-performance, high-pressure air shocks. To celebrate Shock Week, this podcast is available both in the regular audio, which is sandwiched by the news intro, and a full length vodcast.

Episode 191 - Getting to Know Alicia Leggett Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

Alicia has been with Pinkbike for several years and, at Crankworx Whistler, we had the opportunity to sit down and get to know her a little better in a candid and informal conversation. Some of the elements in this conversation are unfiltered, open, and at times quite frank, which we hope isn't too out of place for regular Pinkbike Podcast listeners. At the very worst, you'll at least know us a little better for it.

Episode 190 - Racing, Riding and Redbull TV with Eliot Jackson Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

Eliot Jackson is a man that wears many hats in the bike industry. Whether it's racing, running the grow foundation or commentating on downhill - he certainly keeps himself busy. We caught up with him in Whistler during Crankworx.

Episode 189 - What the Heck's an EDR With Dan Wolfe Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

It seems like only yesterday we were duct-taping bananas to our frame, the EWS wasn't a UCI event and Martin Maes and Richie Rude were hot new talents on the scene. One man who's been there for most of it is Ireland's Dan Wolfe, not only as a racer but also running his own and team's setups.

We talk to Dan about the best of all time, doping, and why racing midweek might not be what the sport needs.

Episode 188 - The Heaviest Freeride Moments in Nothing's For Free (with Tippie and Westerlund) Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

A partnership between Freeride Entertainment, Outside Studios, and Pinkbike, Nothing's For Free is a full length film that takes a deep dive into the evolution of freeride mountain biking—and the enormous sacrifices that have been made in the name of the sport's progression. From fringe sport to global phenomenon, the film chronicles a three-decade journey with the pioneers, visionaries, and industry masterminds that pushed the sport to where it is today.

Some of the footage in this film will change the sport forever, and we're so excited for the mountain bike world to see it. Brian Park and special guest host Jason Lucas sat down with director Derek Westerlund and one of the film's main subjects Brett Tippie to talk about why and how the film was made—as well as some behind the scenes stories of the film's biggest, heaviest moments.

Episode 187 - Getting to Know Taj Mihelich Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

In our Getting to Know series we're taking time to sit down with Pinkbike contributors and staff and getting to know them better. If you're familiar with our website, you've probably spent a great deal of time looking at Taj's drawings. In this podcast, I take the opportunity to sit down with him while he's in Whistler and learn a little more about his life in cycling.

We talk BMX backgrounds, concussion, life as a pro, and wildly misquote philosophers that may or may not even exist.

Episode 186 - Getting to Know Mike Kazimer Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

You may have seen our "Getting to Know" series of interviews, where we talk with the great and good of racing and mountain biking to understand to them better or maybe just familiarise ourselves with their career.

We thought we'd bring that to a long-form interview format with some Pinkbike staff and contributors. I'll try and squeeze them in over the summer as and when time allows. Is there anyone you're desperate to hear from? Let me know in the comments section.
